Bessemer Steel Process

The Bessemer Steel Process was a device created by Henry Bessemer in 1855. The Bessemer Steel Process was independently discovered by William Kelly in 1851.

What it does

The Bessemer Steel Process removes impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. The oxidation also raises the temperature of the iron mass and keeps it in a molten state.

Henry Bessemer

Henry Bessemer was born on January 19, 1813 and died on March 15, 1898. He was the inventor of the Bessemer Steel Process and was an iconic figure in the Industrial Revolution Era.

The Bessemer Steel Process

This is the machine created by William Bessemer in 1855 and was used in several smelting factories in the 1850's.

Where does this machine fall under?

The Bessemer Steel Process falls under the Industrial category since it uses techniques to smelt Iron and create a way to have a more pure Iron molt.
